193. Does Vertical Video Really Perform Better on LinkedIn? The Data Says… Nope.

Standout Business Show — Video Marketing, Personal Branding & Content Marketing Strategy for Your Expert Business

We’ve all heard it:

“Vertical video performs best on mobile.”
“More screen space = more attention.”
“That’s what everyone’s doing on TikTok, so it must work on LinkedIn too... right?”

Well, not so fast.

In this episode of The Standout Business Show, I’m breaking down a $140,000 ad experiment that might completely flip your video strategy on its head.

LinkedIn ad expert AJ Wilcox and video producer Chandler Quinton ran controlled A/B tests across vertical, square, and horizontal video formats — and the results?
Let’s just say vertical isn’t the star of the show.

We’re diving into:

• The surprising format that outperformed all others (yes, even on mobile!)
• Why horizontal video might actually help you stand out as an expert on LinkedIn
• The design psychology and behavior cues that affect content performance
• How to repurpose your most valuable video content for maximum impact
• And why following video trends can sometimes damage your authority
